Updated: Five Nominated for 2010 Piolets d'Or

Editor's Note: Last year's Piolet d'Or ceremony, which awarded three teams the golden ice axe, has caused some confusion about this year's awards. Alpinist mistakenly reported that three awards would be given to teams with the most technical, committing and exploratory ascents. In fact, the Piolet jury has license to award one, some or all of the finalists with a golden ice axe; they also may or may not categorize the award(s). This story was amended on March 4, 2010.
